    I can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

    Y'all I fucking hate windows but running linux went fine until I had to do some video editing for classwork. Premiere pro, which I had a student license for, obviously out. I go looking for FOSS alternatives because hey i'm sure there's a good linux video editor. I think I ended up settling on Kdenlive. I tried installing it from the ubuntu app store and that version was missing features. I tried installing it with apt-get and then proceeded to spend the next 5 hours trying to fix a missing dependancy that seemed to have just vanished off the face of fhe earth. I'm sure there are workarounds but "able to look through the error logs of the apt-get and track down the problem" apparently wasn't tech-savvy enough to have a video editor, one of the most important types of professional software IMO. (also i spent so much money on games cause proton doesn't play nice with piracy very often). I think lonux is perfect for thw really basic user or for the hyper advanced superuser types, but when you're in the middle it can be a real bitch to work with.

    Blender is low key the best video editor on Linux for future reference

    Ooh, I didn't know you could edit videos in Blender. I've been looking to learn how to do editing and Blender's already a little familiar. Thanks!

    I would love another plug and play experience like I get with windows so I can spend my very limited time on playing the games I like out of the box. Any ideas on how I would do that please?
